Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing. The structural rating also reflects Wisconsin's state-funded pre-K program standards (stronger ratios, group sizes, and teacher requirements than the general licensing minimum), applied because this facility operates a state-funded pre-K classroom. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
